Chapter 3
A/N: Wow, thanks so much for all of the reviews. Keep up on them throughout the story…I promise you pairings won't change!
Lilly's POV
"But mom-"
"No Lillian, no excuses this time. You were this close to failing English, and I have a parent teacher conference with Ms. Kawscrow on Wednesday, and that's three days before summer break! You are grounded in your room, no phone, no computer, no TV, no Wii, no skateboard. You are officially grounded under house arrest from here through the end of next week." My mom practically yelled and pointed up the stairs. It's Sunday, the day Joe, Nick, and Kevin leave, and I don't get to call, let alone go say goodbye. I can't even tell Miley to say goodbye.
"Mom-" I half whispered going down the stairs. It was pitch black. I looked out the window to see no car in the drive way, which meant my brother Tanner was gone. There wasn't a car in the garage either, which meant my mom was gone. I grabbed my vans and put them on as fast as I could. I basically ran as fast as a car drove to the Jonas house to see Miley, Mikayla, and Oliver walking back to Miley's with tears in their eyes. They looked up at me and then immediately looked down.
They didn't even acknowledge the fact I was there.
"Guys-"
"Save it Lilly, do you even realize how hurt Joe was?" Miley asked with a look of hurt in her eyes.
"He thought it was his fault, that he did something wrong, he thought you hated him," Mikayla added.
"And then you didn't even call." Oliver finished.
"Just let me explain!"
"Fine, I guess you could do something to try and make it better," Miley inquired.
"To bad it wouldn't help." Mikayla finished.
"Shut up! Ok, I know I didn't show up or call or anything! Ok, but I was kinda getting in trouble with my mom at that moment and I had a feeling it wouldn't turn out pretty if I just walked out the door! I shouldn't even be here now, and if my mom comes home here in the next five minutes, then I'm gonna be grounded for another two weeks!"
"Lilly we didn't," Oliver started but I cut him off.
"No, let me finish. Do you think I don't care about Joe or something? He means the world to me, and now he probably never wants to talk to me again! So not only is Joe hurting, but I am too." Then I started crying.
"Lilly, Joe was going to tell you something today," Mikayla started.
"He wanted you to know so bad too, he was even going to drive by your house before he left but Frankie ran late and everything," Oliver added.
"Well, wh-w-what did he want to tell me?"
"That he loves you." Miley added.
"That's what I wanted to tell him too."
Even when we're miles, and miles apart, you're still holding onto my heart, I promise it will never be dark, I know we're inseparable
Joe's POV-Saying Goodbye
They were on their way. This was it, the moment I tell Lilly I love her.
"Hey Joe, they're here," Kevin said disappointed.
"You may not want to get all excited," Nick added with the same look.
"You guys don't need to get all excited either," I said sarcastically but their faces stayed the same, "tough crowd this morning. Nobody told me it was a Monday." They shook their heads and left. Something was wrong.
I basically jumped down the stairs, but casually walked outside to be greeted by Miley, Mikayla, and Oliver. No Lilly.
"Where's-"
"Just don't ask Joe, please." Oah my Jonas! Lilly, Lilly, died?!
"No, Joe she didn't die," Kevin added reading my mind. I sighed.
"She hasn't talked to us at all Joe, I'm so sorry, we all know what you wanted to say." Mikayla added.
"But-but, what did I do? I thought you said she'd love me back! This is your fault, no it's my fault for not telling her sooner, but I was so sure she'd love me back. I was sure of it," Miley gave me a hug with everybody else following her.
"Boys let's go, Frankie's finally done." My mom said opening the car door and Frankie jumped in. My dad got in the driver's seat and my mom got in shot-gun. When I turned around Miley was with Nick and Oliver and Mikayla were with Kevin. I looked down the street one more time to see if she was coming. Nothing but houses and asphalt.
"Let's go boys," my dad said as Nick and Miley parted and Oliver and Kevin said goodbye as well as Mikayla. Nick and Kevin got in the car. The other three started at me with sorrow in their eyes. I half smiled and got into the car. Fifteen minutes later, I was out of Malibu.
A/N: Ok, that seriously was this close to making me cry. Review Please!
